Translation of al-Qaeda Sheikh’s Online Lecture

26/05/2011

ICSR has obtained and translated a recent talk given online by Abu Zubair Adel al-Abab, a Shariah Official for al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). Speaking last month through an online chat forum popular with Salafi-jihadis, he answered questions in real-time from a global audience of over one hundred participants. The lecture was delivered in Arabic, but was widely advertised on a number of al-Qaeda linked forums, including those in English.

A full PDF of the transcribed translation, by ICSR Atkin Fellow Amany Soliman, is available here.
